[The Lost Tomb crossover with Wei Yu's universe // Pairing with Hei Xiazi // Follows the original // Few original additions // Not sure if anyone will be out of character // Slightly blended timeline]
After many years, rumors of the demon realm stirred once more.
Those who had long since made names for themselves and earned widespread renown; those who had disappeared, only to make a comeback; those who had hidden among humans and faded into obscurity; those born at the wrong time, harboring regrets...
Hu Man was one of the ones born at the wrong time.
With no experience living in human society, she began earnestly copying the "Guide to Surviving in the Human World" from her seniors, so she wouldn't bring shame on the demons.
One of her seniors had a human "servant" who chauffeured them everywhere in luxury cars. She wanted one too!!!
Her senior's servant bought them beautiful clothes and jewelry, so they never wore the same thing twice. She wanted that too!!!
Her senior's servant got them a beautiful lakeside mansion with a big garden. She wanted that too!!!
Her senior's servant pinned them against a wall and kissed them until their eyes grew hazy and the tips of their ears turned red.
She wanted that too... Wait!!
No way!! A servant can be used like that too?
The tall, dark, human-shaped servant folded his arms and lowered his head, fixing her with an amused look. "You want it, right? Why don't you want this one anymore?"
Ideals are lofty, reality is harsh, and not all servants are alike.
Wearing dowdy clothes and a messy braid, Hu Man sat in a shabby courtyard house, eating fried rice with pork and green peppers as she complained, "Human! You've really been treating me terribly!"
